Newsom & the Democrats side with invaders

Sunday, September 21, 2025, 12:27 pm | Randy Thomasson

Gov. Gavin Newsom and his Democrat Party legislators have no qualms about siding with invaders — those who have illegally crossed our borders.

And while their stance includes opposing border control, border security, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the bill Newsom just signed to “ban” face masks on ICE agents violates both federal statutes and the U.S. Constitution.

As Breitbart News explains:

“The legislation … is unconstitutional: state police cannot enforce the law against federal law enforcement officers due to the Supremacy Clause. It also unlawfully exempts the California Highway Patrol, the force that Newsom has dispatched to protect former Vice President Kamala Harris; discriminating against federal officers violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.”

What’s more, Scott Wiener’s SB 627 exempts big cities’ SWAT officers — another big legal weakness in the bill.

Ultimately, SB 627 is unenforceable and is merely fluff by Gavin Newsom telling Democrat Party activists to nominate him for president in 2028.

Q: Why is it important that ICE agents wear masks?

A: Because Leftist activists are actively trying to identify ICE agents, to dox them and threaten them and their families, to try to make them quit. 

As The Center Square reported this summer:

As publicity has increased over ICE arrests, “ICE officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults while carrying out arrests,” the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said.

Lyons said the reason why ICE agents are wearing masks is because California residents were threatening them and their family members.

During a major operation in Los Angeles, “ICE officers were doxed. People were out there taking photos of the names [of the agents], their faces and posting them online,” Lyons said. California residents were also making death threats against ICE agents’ family members, he said.

“I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line and their family on the line because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is. They’re wearing those masks because we ran an operation with the Secret Service [and they made the arrest] someone was going online taking their photos, posting their families, their kids’ Instagram, their kids’ Facebook [pages] and targeting them,” he said.

Bottom line, you either side with invaders or you side with border security. Siding with invaders destroys nations; siding with border security preserves nations.

Since President Trump took office, there have been 139,000 deportations.
In President Trump’s first 50 days, ICE arrested 32,809 illegal immigrants — nearly 75% of whom were accused or convicted criminals — virtually the same number of arrests over the entirety of Biden’s final year in office.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is reawakening conservatives

Monday, September 15, 2025, 8:51 am | Randy Thomasson

The Sept. 10 assassination of young conservative leader Charlie Kirk has awakened Americans — including Californians — like nothing I’ve seen.

Since Charlie’s murder in Utah by a homosexual who’s also a pro-transsexuality activist, vigils have sprung up organically across the country and up and down California.

Because Charlie was young and reaching young people, he gave many people hope for the future. For a coward to take him out, like the coward who came within a millisecond of killing Donald Trump last year in Pennsylvania, is not only shocking — it’s unacceptable. Because murdering those who disagree with you is not the mark of a free society.

Fortunately, people’s grief and righteous anger are motivating them to take a renewed stand. Because Charlie Kirk’s freedom to speak against unnatural, unhealthy “sex changes” is the same liberty granted you and me to speak for what’s right in God’s sight, with our cherished First Amendment rights, without fear of arrest, imprisonment, or death.

For the assassination of Charlie Kirk was an unacceptable attack on moral conservatives everywhere — and people with intact consciences know it.

I’m hopeful that the reawakening of moral righteousness caused by the demonic assassination of Charlie Kirk will have staying power. And if more Californians and Americans rouse themselves and their friends to vote for what’s right in God’s sight this year and next year, our nation, currently “on life support,” can revive all the more, too.

Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.

Out-of-control, unsustainable union pensions are costing average Californians

Sunday, August 31, 2025, 6:22 pm | Randy Thomasson

Have you noticed how California cities and counties are incrementally costing you more in higher taxes, fees, and bonds, while providing fewer or slower services?

The dirty little secret of California local governments is how their budgets are being eaten up by pension liabilities created by police unions, firefighter unions, and other government unions.

And they’re deceptively passing off the costs to you — telling voters they can’t have a library, or sewer lines, or a functional police or fire department without “increases.” And they do this with without disclosing to voters that these “higher costs” are all due to overly-generous and ever-growing pension contracts with local government unions.

And meanwhile, your local government tax bill keeps going up, and local government services keep decreasing. Does this concern you enough stop “feeding the beast” however you can?

The American public at large, and unionized workers in particular, want a free choice when it comes to affiliating with a union. Around eight in 10 Americans consistently express agreement with the Right to Work principle, and polls of unionized workers show similar sentiment. The truth is, American workers by and large want to make a living free from coercive union power: Most say that they have “no interest at all” in joining a labor union. American workers thrive on freedom, and policymakers who claim to care about them should be prepared to defend workers’ freedoms.
